Design. Production. Component Sourcing. Design assistance. Custom harness assembly. Large volume production runs. Small volume production runs. Whatever aspect you need support for when it comes to MIL-STD-1553B technology, we can do it.

In fact, we’ve been providing these sorts of MIL-STD-1553 solutions to our diverse base of customers for more than three decades — all the way back when the amazing military-developed technology was just beginning to become more widely used for private sector solutions.

We enjoy working with MIL-STD-1553 technology for a handful of reasons: 1) It’s cool. Anything originally designed to run a piece of machinery as jaw-dropping as the F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet would be cool. 2) That demanding of an application requires the technology to be relied upon as “mission-critical.” 3) Military avionics uses will also necessitate an element of flexibility and adaptability.

Reliable. Flexible. Adaptable. Cutting edge. This is our kind of technology. We understand “mission-critical.” We live to come up with customized solutions using cutting-edge technologies for our customers that meet their unique and evolving demands and needs. We believe that “Flexibility is the key to air power,” and can accommodate production runs of all shapes and sizes.  We’ve worked hard to maintain a reputation for producing quick RFQ turnovers, bus coupler designs and efficient production timelines.

And we’re proud to be able to continue providing a of MIL-STD-1553 products and solutions still as a complete source for both the design and the production of MIL-STD-1553B devices and supporting equipment — as well of one of the most well-stocked resources of Trompeter/ Emerson Connectivity Solutions products anywhere on the globe.

For example, let’s take a look at our MIL-STD-1553B offers today:

• Bulk Twinaxial Cable
• Bus and Stub Cables
• Connectors
• Data Bus Couplers
• Military Crimp Tools
• Relay Devices
• Terminators, Adapters and Accessories
• Trompeter Connectivity Solutions

Another holiday season. Another stack of gizmos and gadgets you’ll soon be adding to your home entertainment system. Pretty soon, a birds nest of cables suitable for Big Bird will be building up behind your TV (or security room, or server room, or office desk).

Here at MilesTek, we’ve got cable assemblies solutions for just about every need imaginable, including AV cables, component video cables, CCTV cables, coaxial cables, computer and network cables and fiber-optic patch cords.

Thankfully, we’ve also got cable management solutions to match them. Let’s take a look:

Label Printers

Make it easy to remember which cable belongs to which device with our complete line of Rhino Label Printers and label options (including flexible nylon labels, a heat shrink tube, permanent polyester, self-laminating, and vinyl labels).

Cable Holders and Supports

Simple solutions for bundling and controlling cables, including cable clamps, cable rings and spools, and wide surface cable supports.

Cable Ties

Tough, top-quality cable ties made out of 6/6 natural nylon — made right here in the United States of America. The cable ties are available in three colors — black, white and natural — and couple low insertion force with the maximum tensile strength. Options include ID tie wraps, mount tie wraps and reusable tie wraps.

Ducting and Tubing

An excellent high-impact rigid PVC solution for both routing and protecting your cables, including convoluted tubing, over-the-floor ducting, and slotted ducting.

Raceway Systems

A smooth, attractive way to control your cables, our top-notch raceway systems come with surface raceways, fittings and junction boxes. Each element is constructed out of 64V-0 PVC, and are available in either six-foot or eight-foot lengths. For simple and fast installation, the wide raceway base/boxes also feature foam-backed adhesives.

Here at MilesTek, our purpose is simply to make connectivity more effective and less expensive for our customers. To do this, we’re proud to provide a seemingly limitless range of cables, connectors and innovative connectivity combinations that give our customers both functionality and flexibility (for a fraction of the price).

We’ve identified three keys that make this possible:

In-House Design and Engineering

As sellers, our daily interactions with our diverse network of clients gives us an excellent view of the continual evolution of customer needs and technological demands. As designers and engineers, we can respond to new developments with unmatched speed. We can build to your prints, or revise your current designs in order to make them more effective or more cost-effective.

This approach applies to a wide variety of connectivity products, including:

• Audio visual devices
• Cable assemblies
• MIL-STD-1553B components
• And more…

In-House Manufacturing

Manufacturing affords us far greater oversight over both quality control and our rapid, on-time delivery capabilities. We’re based in Denton, Texas, an excellent place to call home and an ideal, centrally-located headquarters from which to respond to our customers’ needs.

But perhaps most importantly, in-house manufacturing allows our teams of innovative technicians to both come up with new conceptual solutions when emerging needs arise — both for evolving industry-wide trends and customer-specific needs — and make sure the solutions are practical and workable. In-house manufacturing also gives us one more capability needed to ensure that products get out the door quickly enough to meet customer deadlines.

Critical Experience

As multi-decade industry veterans, we’ve got both the experience and the expertise to make it all happen. We look at technology trends with a long view, and understand the nuances technological development. We’ll tell you if your product design will work, and we’ll tell you if we think it can be improved upon to be more effective, more reliable, or more cost-effective (or all of the above).
